Learn to Play I'll Be by Edwin McCain Part One on Guitar

Hey guys! What is up? It is Aaron. It is Sunday afternoon, trying to get more videos out. The one I have got a couple of request for, I want to do first is by Edwin McCain, it is called “I’ll be.” There is a lot of picking in the actual song where he plays it. Sometimes when he plays it live, you will hear he strums it. What I am going to do is I am going to give you the chords to strum it because I think that is how most people that want this song, the request that they want me to do. Then I am also going to have the tab in the formation box if you want to pick it. The picking pattern is really the same chords that I am going to teach you to strum, you just pick instead with a couple of fingers adding on. So, I am going to start, it has got basically five chords in it. And they are really going to be easy because there are a lot of bar chords with the same finger position except for 2 and 5. But those are kind of used sporadically. So, the first thing I want to teach you is the intro. If you are going to play this, this might be the one part that you want to pick and then strum the rest because it is before he starts singing. But what I want you to do is, one unique thing about this song for the most part, the bar chords that you do. You leave these two bottom strings open. So we are on standard tuning by the way. So, no capo or anything. To the intro, if you pick it, it can sound like this. I will play it really quick. There are different ways to play it. The way I think it sounds the most accurate is, it is where it sounds like this. [Demonstration] I have also heard some people in the covers just play like this, like the strum. [Demonstration] So, the chord you start out in is you are going to put your pointer finger, it is actually, I think it is a D, you put your pointer finger on the 7th fret, so 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 on the low E, 7th fret, then you are going to take your ring and pinky and put them on the 9th frets of the A and D, your 2nd and 3rd strings down. The 4 string down, your G string, put your middle finger on the 4th fret. All right, now, however you do this, this is the same bar chords you use whether you are going to strum it [Demonstration]. And for that, all I am doing is starting here. The 7, the pointer finger, middle finger on the 8th fret, 4th string down. Ring and pinky on the 2nd and 3rd strings on your A and D on the 9th fret. Okay, I am strumming that. It is like [Demonstration]. Slide everything down two frets, so your pointer, this is on the 5th, the 6th and 7th. So, [Demonstration]. If you want to strum the intro, you can do that. If you want to pick it, try and go to pick it through this real quick. Let us just say that this numbers like, I usually number them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, from the top to bottom. Play in this order while you are on the same bar chord, play. 1, 3, 4, 6, 5 no -- 1, 3, 4, 6, 4, 5 then play 3, 6, 3, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5, 4 successively. It sound like that and sliding it down the same as that pick pattern. So, 1, 3, 4, 6, 4, 5, 4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5, 4, something like that. You can make up your own pick pattern. You can do anything you want. You know, as long as you have this chord. You can make it really easy to strum the chord and then play 6, 5, 4, 6, 5, 4, 6, 5, 4 [Demonstration]. Anything like that. That is the intro. You do that twice. So it is like, [Demonstration]. Then it gets into the verse. And, the verse you are going to go, it is going to go like this. You are going to go up from your B, which is this chord you started out with, the 7th fret, pointer finger, ring, pinky on the 9th fret of the A and D, 2nd and 3rd string down, the middle finger on the 8th fret of the G string. Okay, so the verse is going to go like this [Demonstration]. And then it switches to this other bar chord, this is actually an A, bar chords. So you slide this bar down, you are not going to play this E, you are going to try to mute it. You got a bar across on the 7th fret, the bottom five strings and then you are you are going to -- all this fingers down. You really basically move everything
